Long time setizen, Richard Lubrich (Dr. C.E.T.I., aka Dr. SETI, aka nobody) passed away today. Richard was a fixture on the forums from our earliest days. He was a great friend to SETI@home and will be greatly missed. @SETIEric

I am very sad to hear this news. My sincere condolences to Richard Lubrich family and all his friends and colleagues at SETI. He may have left us but his flame is being kept alive by the SETI team. May he rest in peace.

My condolences as well. That's the thing about some of us longtime seti crunchers - many have been at it a very long time and some of us will see our lives ended prior to a message being received/decoded. That is the way of things.

In fact he was passing my way and next introducing a couple of things for me to let know, so if perhaps not a friend, at least someone I knew,
or perhaps an acquaintance and therefore deserves a little mentioning.

The only thing I know is that he was a photographer of profession and was living together with Joanne, who for some reason gets her own personal name.

Now he becomes part of history as well, so when at least someone you know passes away, it deserves a couple of words in his memory.

Sad news indeed. I wish this period of sadness for his friends and family be short and his life memories be celebrated for a long time.If it's just us, it would be an awful waste of space.
